FFS. I installed it after seeing it here on HN and on MacRumors. Terrible failure on my part but MacRumors should offer an apology for endorsing this fake release.
- nguyenkien 5mo agoFirst thing I do is check official notepad++ website. I didn't see anything, that what's stop me.
- f3408fh 5mo agoSmart. Good on you for noticing it wasn’t the real website.
- AureliusMA 5mo agoThis is such a blow for MacRumors... I won't be taking them seriously anymore after this. They are complicit.
- f3408fh 5mo agoMe neither. So far all I see is a puny "[Updated]" title on the article with no apology or indication of what was updated.

- odie5533 5mo agoThe National Enquirer publishing rumors and gossip?! I'll never read them again!
- dewey 5mo agoA website that's specialized into running unconfirmed rumors for clicks, shocking!
- layer8 5mo agoYou can’t take MacRumors seriously in that sense in general, they often distort their sources and barely do any journalistic due diligence. They are serviceable as a news feed for the sources they link to, and for the rumored-upcoming-features summary listicles.
- ezfe 5mo ago9to5mac writes clickbait headlines but MacRumors violates journalistic integrity. They always have been worse, there’s nothing new.
- j1elo 5mo agoI mean, the website is called "Rumors", so their reliability is in compliance with the letter of the contract :-)
